I have already posted on this same topic, but this time it hits a closer to home, geographically at least. One of the men of our community discerned that he is not called to pursue formation for the priesthood at this time. Though the departure of a brother brings with it a bit of sadness, we continue to pray for him and support him as he discerns God's will for him.
However, we rejoice in the fact that two new men, a Pre-theologian and a man continuing in Theology I (he has transferred from a different seminary) have come to join us at SPS in our program of formation for priesthood.
At moments such as these, it is always good to thank the People of God for their prayers for us as we make these transitions and continue the work of doing God's will in our lives. More importantly, however, are your continued prayers that God will call more men to answer their vocation to the priesthood of Jesus Christ -- I say it this way because I believe God is already calling, the lack is in response. Because of your prayers, we are rewarded with these new additions to our community. Thank you and please continue fervent prayers on behalf of men in formation for priesthood.

Be assured of my continued prayers. Even though that young man is leaving seminary formation, I pray he will continue to serve in other ways.
